What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a nursing role where I can lead care coordination—health assessments, medication safety, and documentation accuracy—and improve utilization and outcomes, with opportunities to use AI for safer communication.

I’m a Registered Nurse with leadership experience across group homes, foster care, skilled and custodial nursing, home health, and hospital surgical and pediatric units. I bring a strong clinical baseline and a systems mindset to coordinate care end-to-end.

In MDS Coordinator and Director of Nurses roles, I completed and submitted MDS assessments for Medicare and Medicaid residents, created and maintained 60+ individualized care plans, and handled PASSR and LTCMI reporting. I also supported utilization review workflows, audited nursing documentation to strengthen skilled services, and contributed to an increased Medicaid rehab rate from $160 to $181 over five years.

In community-based care and current AI phone call evaluation work, I emphasize safety, empathy, and bias-aware decision-making while managing medication regimens, referrals, phone triage, and treatment effectiveness reviews. I’m at my best when collaborating with physicians, pharmacists, and interdisciplinary teams to improve outcomes for vulnerable adults and children.
